A
Guide to Getting Recruited
By: Daniel Gallagher, Dean of University Admissions, and Tim O’Donohue,
Men’s Soccer Coach, Stevens Institute
of Technology.
As admissions offices start the process of recruiting for the class
of 2006, so are athletic coaches. Because many Division III coaches
compete for athletes with Division I and II schools, getting an
early start is essential to a successful recruiting season. Below
we have outlined some pointers for you, the student-athlete, to
ensure that you establish good contacts with coaches and place yourself
in the best position when it comes time to decide which college
to attend. Do not delay—the time will fly by!
1. Resumes.
Include your academic and athletic accomplishments, and contact
information for your parents and all coaches (High school, Club
or AAU).
2. Videos. While
this is a great way to get noticed by a coach, it is imperative
that the tape is of the highest quality. Nothing loses a coach’s
attention more quickly than a perfunctory or sloppy videotape; however,
an excellent tape can get a coach excited about a prospect.
